In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Mr. Bani-Sadr, the president of Iran,
It is necessarily befitting to invite various groups from the countries world over to launch an investigation into the American crime in attacking Iran. It will help the coming groups to witness on the spot what America has committed toward an independent nation. On the other hand, it claims to support human rights besides the human brotherhood and peace. Let them see for themselves the stigmas of the crimes of this man-hungry regime. But much to regret, the Western governments, the associations of human rights, the United Nations, and the Security Council- all support America. Let them see with their own eyes, which I have time and again reiterated that all these world organizations and institutions are created only to be the tools for America. Likewise, the various associations are the handicraft of the powerful ones to suck the blood of the oppressed ones and to yoke them. Let them see that plot they have designed at the excuse of rescuing their spies. When they see they will believe that the associations turn a blind eye to the rights of the oppressed people when the interests or benefits of the capitalists are in question. So they do nothing beyond preserving the domination of the capitalists.
The illegitimate government of Iraq is transgressing Iran at the behest of America. We did not witness these associations or organizations, even for once, that they should have put a word by way of animadversion or an objection. But for the fifty spies who are being treated with utmost politeness and generous hospitality, the cries and clamors come out from their throats and echoes worldwide under the pretext of human rights every day. We never heard their voice in defense of our poor government and victim nation under the same name of human rights. Very odd, that these organizations not only turn blind to see the obvious and apparent aggression against an independent country but even accuse us for quailing the international contracts. While we did not detain any except the spies who had come to Iran for treason. They want us to remain in the economical blockade because their aim is to support America who is the aggressor, regardless of the fact that Carter has not informed them of his terrible and horrible treason. In spite of his overrunning the rights of a free independent country they still support him and shall keep doing so. On the other hand, it is we who should be pushed into the economical blockade. Beyond this they raise a din of clamor by way of support to a tyrant. To the supporters of America who regrettably are in plenty among our own open minded ones and to the youth who are cheated and tricked by them, you please do remind them and warn them change themselves and join their own nation. Let them not spoilt their life for the sake of foreigners. Lend them lend their ears to our advice because in it rests their own good. Also please warn the other classes such as those who started trouble in Kurdistan and colleges to stop doing these malefic and mischievous deeds a sensitive period. These doings of them could possibly be pernicious and scatheful to the country as they are anti-Islamic and anti-humanity. Today, each voice or deep against the Iranian Revolution is a service to the world-hungry ones and an evidence of the dependency of these ones and an evidence of the dependency of these ones upon those ones.
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
